TINE REyOLVOF LABOR

The report made to Congress on
ThuIsdsy by the committee appointed
TO investigate the Western railroad
strikes is document OF great interest
at this time, when a steady revolu ion
is going on in the relations that have
existed between capital and labor, the
ultimate results OF which no man can
ioresee. The report recognizes the
right Of workingmen to unite for the
purposs Of arranging their rate oilpay
with the employers, but they have no
right to interfere with those who
choose to make those arrangements
outside such unions. Very significant
is that sentence OF the report that says:
There can be no doubt that the con-
oentrAtion OF wealth and power, and
the expressions which have occurred,
as shown in the evidence taken, have
promoted the unrest Of labor. This Is
painfully evident" Among these OPP
pressions the report mentions requir.
ing more hours OF labor than were
contracted for; reduction OF time
without notice; taken out on the rail-
road Mt night to make repairs without
provision for sleeping, with no
pay for the night 90 taken
from the mems own time, aud in some
instances not even carrying them
back when the work was done. The
Texas aid Pacific road had "bl ok
list" through which men discharged
al one place were refused work at
other places where copy Of the li,t
was kept. This boycotling Of Ameri-
can ci issns the report condemns &c
unjust hsble. When the strike was
in progress the railroad managers
aolemnly declared 1t without cause or
from Sny Objectionable dealing toward
the men on their part, but the report
fnds ample grounds for complaint
The concentration Of wealth and The
abuse Of power have aroused a spirit
Of resistance on the part OF labor
everywhere, which no force can crush
out. The result is strikes, socialism
and anarchy. Among ourselves, for
the last quarter OF century, strikes
have immensely increased in number
aud in the skiil aud power with which
, they are c,nduoted. The same resist
ing spirit exists i other coun'riss as

Will there be q war in Europe7 is q
question just now eagerly discussed
BY the European press. The prevalent
opinion expressed is that Eirope is
now living over a powder magazine"
but many entertain the belief that the
dreaded event may not occur during
the present year. That France may
be Quoted by the fact that Bismarck
will obtain the addition to the Ger
man army he has struggled for, is also
extensively believed, as the French
prees has been less belligerent Of late,
but very many think that the addition
TO Germsny's strength will incite Bis
marck TO strive to crush France, and
TINS put an end to the strained con-
dition Of affairs which actual war can
alone put an end TO. It is also
thought that hostilities will probably
be deferred until Germauy's new
forces can be consolidated with it's
present army. Yet unforeseen circum-
stances may bring out collision sDy

10 with the greatest dread. IL may

THE CABLE RAILWAY.
The Franchise Along Main street
Granted Yesterday.

The City Council yesterday granted
franchise to the Los Angeles Cable
Railway Company, for double track
cable railway commencing at point
on Spring street within 200 feet south
of its intersection with First street,
thence along Spring street, Main
street, Upper Main street, Alameda
and San Fernando streets and Downey
Avenue to its intersection with Work
man street as announced in the HER
AID on Sunday morning. The COM
pany will in the construction of its
track use the Johnson or flat rail and
will commence work as soon as the
material can be put on the ground. 1t
has already ordered the iron yokes and
the rails and bids will be received for
the furnishing of broken rock for the
cement work. When the road is COM
pleted it will transfer to the City and
Central lines and to the roads to be
hereafter built by the company. The
road is to be completed inside of
eighteen months and if not the whole
right of way will be forfeited. Under
its franchise it is permitted to con-
struct viaducts over railway crossings
but this is not made obligatory. As
soon as this road is completed it is the
intention of the company to extend its
cable system piece by piece until it
covers more ground than'any other
system in operation in the United
States.

Martha Hunt, the paramour and

on the charge OF committing rape on

ed before Justice Taney yesterday to
answer the charge preferred against
her. Justice Taney set the case for
examination on Saturday, July 3Oth
at 2 p. NJ, with bail fixed at $1,000.
She failed to give bond and was re-
committed to jail. Nothing has been
heard of Gormlee and in all probable
ity he will go scot free. The citizens
should hold meeting and offer a re-
ward for Gormlee's apprehension and
it is pretty certain that he would be
landed in Jail inside of three days.

A SAD STORY.
A Young Girl Loses Her Position
and Dies.

About two months ago two young
ladies', Maggie and Mamie McCor-
mick, arrived in Los Angeles. For
years previously they had resided in
San Francisco, but finding the climate
too rarified and not conducive to their
health, they decided to come to this
city, They secured rooms on Belle
vue Terrace. Their brother also ac-
companied them and readily obtained
employment at his trade, that OF a
house-painter. About five weeks ago
Miss Mamie Mccormick found time
hanging heavily on her hands and,
although she was not compelled to
work from lack of funds, she en-
deayored to secure employment
She soon attained II position as book
keeper and cashier in Susand's
barber shop on Main street She en-
tered upon her duties the next day,
and found Il little difficulty in doing
the work. On Sunday morning ac-
corling to her sisters story her en-
ployer accused her of being five dol
lars short in her accounts. She de-
MED it, but nevertheless she was dis
charged, and went home with heavy
heart. She grieved all the evening,
not so much at having lost her situa-
ton, but because she had been ac-
cused of embezzlement. Late Sun
day evening she retired and slept
soundly until about p. NJ. when she
awoke her sister and told her that she
was choking. She shortly afterwards
was attacked with II violent hem
morrhage. She soon found relief,
but in few moments she was
troubled with another choking SEN
sation. DIR. Kuntz was called in by
the sister, but too late to save the I'M
fortunate girl. She died in II few
moments, setting in an upright po-
sition, within her sisters embrace.
She was native of Ireland, and only
22 years of age. Her remains were
removed to Garrett Neitzke's un-
dertalling parlors on Main street,
| from whence the funeral will
| take place this morning. Susand, her
employer, was seen. He seemed to
feel very badly on account of the girls
sudden demise. He said that on Sun
day morning while endeayoring to
balance her books she found dis
crepancy of $40 in the accounts. SUI
sand said that she communicated the
fact to him and told him that after
lunch she would return and endeavor to
locate the mistake. He says that he
told her to let it go until Monday. He
denied that he ever directly or indi-
rectly accused her of theft, or that he
discharged her. He, however, stated
that she was not competent for the
place and that sometime in the near
future he intended to let her 20.

LA BALLONA DREDGER.
1t is at Last safely Landed in the
HRrbOr.

The great dredger La Ballona, ar
rived yesterday morning at the en-
trance to La Ballona Harbor. I'm
fortunately the sea was running very
high which seemed to indicate that it
would be impossible to make an en-
trance with great fiatbottomed craft
like the dredger, but the tug which
towed the ponderous craft was obliged
| to return to San Francisco, and so the
attempt had to be made in spite Of
the rolling waves.
To add to the excitement of the at
tempt the underwriters had refused
| insurance on the vessel and left the
whole risk upon the purchasers. 1t
was a moment for decisive action in
the great and untried dangers, but the
trying hour had arrived and the crisis
had to be met at once with brave ac-
ton and at fearful risk. The great
craft was given increased hawser
and drifted towards the en-
trance. Hawsers were passed
to the sides of the entrance TO
the harbor from the unwieldly mon
ster, to steady it through the breakers
which rolled wild and high, and the
great flatboat, with its heavy load OF
machinery. drifted into them in Il
helpless manner, with the water at
times breaking over its decks and
shattering some of its planking. 1t
was impossible to hold it all the time
head ashore, and there was imminent
danger that the craft would strike
broadside and be dashed in pieces /;
but by desperate effort it was warped
so as to strike obliquely at the entrance,
and, swinging off, passed through on
the incoming tide and was safe at last
in the placid waters of Ballona harbor.
The excitement OF the scene was great,
and President Campbell, Mr.. Northcutt
and others engaged i'm the work were
overcome with joy when the great
craft was safely at rest. The damage
to the dredger is trifiing, and as soon
as Il supply OF perfectly fresh water
can be conveyed to the storage tank,
will be put to work.
All maritime men who have tried to
handle an unwieldly fat-bottomed
craft in breakers ten feet high, can
appreciate the excitement and peril of
the trial. Mr. Campbell is to be con-
graduated on the success OF the daring
undertaking.

There was not vacant seat at the
Opera House last night, the occasion
being the first presentation of The
Derips .4uction. 1t is very amusing
extravaganza, and the scenic and spec
tacular effects are very fine. There
are Il number of nicely formed young
women in the company, who appear
in scanty but becoming costumes. 1t
brought to the minds of many OF the
audience the "Adamless Eden com
pany, that had such run here a
couple OF years ago. 1t is very
laughable and attractive exhibition,
and doubtless the theater will be
crowded each night this week.
